The Wee Beasties: Scout and Flora

Scout: foster fail, too cute for his own good.
Flora: foster fail, mischief-making princess.
Hobbs/Penn (RIP): much missed.

Good advice!

Just checking in friends

Stay hydrated, keep cool, and take it easy in the heat. If you can, check in on elderly neighbours, friends or anyone who may need a little extra support.

Please remember our furry friends too fresh water, shade and rest.

@WilesGehrig @archeohistories It was on my bucket list and I've now been twice, in May and early Oct. The Oct. trip, I got there at opening so I was the only person there, instead of the summer bus loads. Absolutely amazing!

@FartyCheddarCat Flora: poor mummy! I'm sure she misses her friend. Figgy's antics likely help her ~ and my mummy says doing something helpful like pulling weeds is also good for her. We're so glad you, Figgy, and your sisters are there to take care of your mummy.

@RIPwalphiepopfe Scout: Gerty is adorable! <and I'm not saying that just 'cuz she looks like me 😹>

Reasons I rejected my food
today:
1. The bowl is the wrong color
2. You said “good job” while I was eating & it distracted me.
3. You left & didn’t watch me eat
4. I wanted the other flavor I also don’t eat
5. My bowl wasn’t where I like it
6. I wanted wet food, not dry

Happy International Pet Day 🐾

To the ones who sit with us on the hard days…
Who make ordinary moments feel special…
Who ask for nothing but give everything 🤍

They are never “just a pet”

They are family

Hug them a little closer today 🐾

“I want that one…” 💛

We hear it a lot — and we understand why.

But rescue isn’t about picking a cat like you would clothes in a shop.

It’s about finding the one who needs you just as much as you need them.

[George The Stourbridge Junction Station Cat @TheStourbridge]

May March greet you like a quiet head-boop of reassurance.
May the world slow down, soften up,
and treat you with the kindness you deserve.

Mushu is built for the cold! Pallas's cats have the densest fur of any cat in the world. Their gray winter coats help them stay insulated when temperatures in the mountains drop below -58 degrees Fahrenheit!

A view of the Lake Erie ice cover earlier today. Ice as far as the eye can see!

Elusive. Ethereal. Endangered.

With barely 10,000 left in the wild and scattered sightings in NE India, the Clouded Leopard is our most secretive big cat.

Here, a rare glimpse ~ a mother with her cubs, guardians of an ancient rainforest. A sight so rare that it’s mythical.

Just for fun ~ here's the current forecast for Buffalo. A few flurries today, an inch or two of snow Monday, rain by the end of the week.

[The Wee Beasties: Scout and Flora @ScoutandFlora]

I'm reposting @KevinBuffalo's reply, because @accuweather's post highlights a video that is two years old <the date is even in the video!>, claiming to be current about snowfall. So much for the accuracy part of @accuweather 😕😆

[Kevin O’Neill @KevinBuffalo]

@accuweather Hi I’m a meteorologist in Buffalo. THIS VIDEO IS FROM 2024. It’s 2026.
Lake effect snow is not piling up in Buffalo.
Your post is terribly deceptive.
Here’s our radar…

@KevinBuffalo @accuweather It even says right in the video it's from 2 years ago.
So much for accuracy. 😕

𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐠 – 𝐀 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐆𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐮𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 🐘

Early this morning, Amboseli National Park, Kenya - and indeed the world - lost a true icon. Craig, the legendary super tusker famed for its immense, ground-sweeping tusks and calm, dignified presence, passed on at the age of 54.

Born in January 1972 to the great matriarch Cassandra of the CB family, Craig lived a life that few elephants ever do.

Craig was one of the last remaining super tuskers in Africa - a rare class of bull elephants whose two tusks weigh over 45 kilograms (100 lbs) each. Fewer than a handful remain today, making him a living monument to Africa’s natural heritage.

He fathered a number of calves, ensuring that his powerful bloodline and gentle character live on across generations.

Beyond its extraordinary tusks, Craig was deeply loved for its remarkably calm nature. He appeared to understand its place in the world - often pausing patiently as visitors photographed and filmed him. Widely documented and admired globally, he became a true ambassador of Amboseli and a symbol of what successful conservation looks like.

In 2021, Craig was proudly adopted by East African Breweries Limited (EABL) through the Tusker brand, reflecting his worldwide appeal. His long life and survival to such maturity were made possible through decades of dedicated protection by Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), working in close collaboration with conservation partners and the local community.

Continuous monitoring, anti-poaching efforts, habitat protection, and community stewardship ensured that Craig lived freely and safely - demonstrating what collective commitment to wildlife conservation can achieve.

Drop a memory of Craig down below and let's celebrate its legacy. #TunzaMaliYako

@FartyCheddarCat Scout and Flora: take care of your mummy ~ she's important! If she needs a break, we understand ~ and we guess it means she also needs lots of cuddles and healing purrs. Maybe you'll even get ideas for new posts from whatever you get up to during the break 😜
